With beautiful colors and large, easy-to-read words, LADY
FLATTERLEY is a sweet Christian children’s story.
Lady Flatterley is a caterpillar all alone high on a tree limb. She
desires nothing more than to become a beautiful butterfly. She
has no idea what her future holds for her. It isn’t until a fellow
butterfly perches on her branch for a rest that she learns that
one day she, too, really will turn into a butterfly.
Lady Flatterley wants to build her cocoon as soon as she learns
what her future will be. As the winter comes, she spins her
cocoon to wait out the cold weather.
In the spring, as everything awakens, she struggles to break
free of her casing. Fellow creatures want to help her, but they
all know that Lady Flatterley must learn to survive on her own.
As she frees herself from her winter home, she is thrilled to be
able to fly. She travels around and admires herself in a passing
window. As she flies off, she thanks God for making her wishes
come true.
The author wants children to know that fear can prevent us from
reaching for our dreams. Lady Flatterley is afraid of change,
but she wants more than anything to be a beautiful butterfly and
accepts the fact that things must change for it to happen.
Thanking God in the end, Lady Flatterley flies away, pleased
with her future.
